I felt very much the same way. I was totally made up in my mind to have to surgery so that's how I took it God in prayer.
I wanted it, was scared, nervous and willing to be obedient.
I knew I had prayed for so any other things and this surgery was an answer to those prayers. But you know what's going on with you.
The feeling of dying on the table is normal and being scared that you will be punished by death is also normal.
Like other said. Listen for the holy spirit to guide you and go with it.
Nothing makes response more clear than a little fasting and praying.

Cautionary and confirmatory. I stopped with the broccoli and cheddar Soup because I didn't like it. Since the original post I was all clear liquid.
Today, like just now, I tried Panera bread Tomato Soup. Tasty but was chunky so I wrapped it up until I can strain it at home. I'm due to start full liquids tomorrow, and like 3 spoons fill me up so I'm going with it. I'll be easily compliant on soft foods as I have tons of veggie recipes, my mother in law is vegetarian from India (cauliflower rice is the bomb.com)
I've been feeling well today. I finished an entire short coffee..over about 3 hrs, but hey. An entire 8oz Water bottle in about an hr. And I got down half a bottle of premier, until my stomach started growling and I started craving a foodie flavor.
PS: I didn't know soup came with a little loaf of bread! I licked all over it and chewed on a corner like a dog with a bone, then tossed it out the window. Had to be a sight for the lady riding next to me ????

Walmart has these panty girdles (up to 3X for sure, maybe bigger. Get the loose one, it's more meshy, the tight one feels more smooth (hard to explain). Get a size up if you can.
Or I've heard people say binders. Or those Walmart work out pants that are high wasted. That's what I've been doing. I'm gone put on my girdle tomorrow. I'll let you know.
Medicare and rest. Try again tomorrow.

I cried and had a panic attack immediately after waking up. Haven't cried since. I was sleeved 12/29. Progressively better. I think it was all the up, out, and about I've been doing. I drove the next day. Been out every day since. Went back to work today! My bio glue doesn't thank me for it but I haven't been in pain, 2 days no meds of any kind.
My stomach actually growled today! But I haven't experience too much smell nausea. And YES! family will taunt you, not really maliciously but they can't understand what you are going through and they wanna see you react.
This forum is here for you.
It gets better.
Deep breaths. Short walks. Sip sip sip.

This was supposed to be a good place to discuss everything about WLS and that is why I joined yestersay, but there are so many users who just jump all over anyone who makes the slightest mistake or unknowingly posts something that triggers a freaking avalanche of users. This isn't a discussion forum at all.

I was a spark drinker until the formula changed. I wasn't happy with it after that. The nausea finally subsided and I can get more fluids in, things are finally getting easier. Sent from my SM-G930V using the BariatricPal App

I know how you feel. I was so bored of the shakes!! But one thing that really helped me was planning for the next stage. I found that if I had recipes or things I wanted to try, it was easier to use them as a goal, and it felt so rewarding when I finally got to eat them!!

Just be really careful and try not to do it again. I practically begged my surgeon to move me to purees a week early because I was so sick of liquids and sweet stuff. He told me that even though I was feeling hungrier and tolerating everything well it's not really about what you can tolerate, it's about giving yourself time to heal.
Some people do it and have 0 problems but remember that your body is still swollen and fragile on the inside even if you feel fine. I know that the liquid part feels like it will never end esp if you had to do it pre op like most of us, but before you know it that part will be a distant memory. It's just not worth the risk of a staple line leak or other damage to your insides!

I've had the same experience as you.
I'm 4 days post op but did a week of liquids and now my wedding band is loose. The same band that started squeezing me so tight I could only take it off at opportune times.
It feels good.

I'm day four, tomorrow is day five and I'm going to work! I'm excited.
I've done well health wise. Didn't need gas x or nausea meds, and I just room first and only dose of pain meds. I also pooped today! Increased my liquids and resolved my mind to do the right things.
I truly believe you feel better each day, walking works/helps and so does support. If you are not feeling better each day, outside of particular side issues, something might be wrong.
I see the Dr. day after tomorrow and will report how work and that visit goes.
Stay encouraged. Stay health.

I don't I'm missing food that much. I just want to be regular. I'm cool with being g full on a few bites but I'm just ready to be able to take them. Mostly I'm tired of not being able to drink full drinks. I ha e a cray Starbucks addiction ( even just plain espresso shots)

I have an 11 month old and not BF (sleeve 12/29) ands hard enough to deal as it is.
If you want to get the surgery as planned I'd advise you to wean now. Like right now. Not likely to continue production anyway. Plus that baby will want you and you will only want comfy pillows. Believe me.
Not to mention the emotional and mental drain post op (pre too) will be.
Good luck
